Ella Langley Reacts to Dethroning Mariah Carey’s Billboard No. 1 Spot With “Choosin’ Texas”
Ella Langley is choosin’ herself over the haters.
Despite the country singer’s recent successes with her song “Choosin’ Texas”—which beat Mariah Carey’s 22-week streak atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart earlier this month, becoming the longest-running No. 1 song in history—she recently reflected on the criticism she has faced along the way.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had more opinions on myself in my life than I have in this last year,” Langley told the crowd the her concert in Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 25, as seen in video shared to social media. “The way I look, the way I speak, the way I dress, the way I move, the way I sing, the way I write.”
And as the 27-year-old shared, “At first it bothered me.”
“I was like, ‘What am I going to do about this? If this is what I’m signing up to do, I don’t know about this,’” she continued. “I signed up to sing music and I love to do what I do, but if this is what it’s going to be the whole entire time, I mean s–t, I don’t know if I’m strong enough for this.”
